Are you watching kids scroll through life, with their rapid-fire thumbs and a six-second attention span? Physician and filmmaker Delaney Ruston saw that with her own kids and learned that the average kid spends 6.5 hours a day looking at screens. She wondered about the impact of all this time and about the friction occurring in homes and schools around negotiating...
Two current St. George MSU School Board members will be stepping down from the Board when their terms expire this June, which means we will have two open School Board seats on the May 2019 election ballot. All the reasons that you may have for not running for the School Board don’t measure up to the reasons why you should: this is your school, these are your...

As the...
Dear Families,
In August, we learned that one of our two, oil-fired boilers was cracked and needed to be replaced. Our second boiler is the same age (about 20+ years old) and model as the boiler that is cracked.
